Our walking tour through Hampstead’s 250-year-old history with Blue Badge tour guide Isabelle Seddon is back by popular demand this autumn.

Hampstead is a beautiful neighbourhood of North London, known for its intellectual, liberal, artistic, musical, political and literary association. From the discovery of the medicinal waters in the 18^th Century, that drew visitors from miles around, it has also been home to an array of famous residents throughout the years, including John Constable, Daphne du Maurier, H G Wells, D H Lawrence, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Wander through the narrow alleys, quaint squares and tree-lined avenues, and discover Hampstead’s hidden gems.  A perfect time to connect with others, share an interest, and increase your steps!

About Isabelle Seddon 

Isabelle has lived in lived in London for many years where she has worked as a counsellor and dramatherapist, working with a wide range of people and ages.

She has a doctorate on the history of London’s East End and British theatre and she gives all her tours a sense of performance!  She specialises in the East End of London (she has published a book on the history of the area) and loves to bring its revolutionaries, reformers, gangsters and refugees to life. She leads tours of all the main tourist sites as well as the  Jewish East End, Shoreditch and Hoxton, Wapping, Hampstead, Bloomsbury , medieval Clerkenwell, King’s Cross and Notting Hill Gate. She loves to show the highlight destinations but if there is time, she will always slip in somewhere a little off-beat –even the very centre of London has lots of hidden gems. Isabelle also has a T-guide qualification for guiding people with intellectual and learning difficulties.
